Studying for exams, ways to memorize things...?

It is scientifically proven that if you take small breaks in between study time you are more effective at learning. As for just studying without breaks, you will only remember 15 minutes of the beginning and 15 minutes of the end of what you studied. :)

haha I have to study for exams too! I think a good idea is to repeat something to yourself a few times, and then trying to rewrite it without looking at your notes. Keep doing this a couple of times. The human brain takes an average of seven times to remember things. Try not to memorise irrelevant stuff. To make things easier, you could write all the info in the form of an essay. Memorise the essay, and you would have all the information stored already,

mnonics ... take the first letter of each word and make a new word on saying that will help you remember important things

Apparently you remember things more if you read it in your head and out loud at the same time to embed it into two parts of your brain at once. If you sleep (even nap) after studying it helps as well.

you could write little notes on pieces of card and just keep reading it until it goes in your head

if your good at remebering songs then rurn your notes into songs. it works.

What i tend to do is get myself into a mood where i want to learn, if you don't do this, then you are not going to memorize things, since your brain will think its not fun. Step 1: Dance to some music!!! Step 2: play some cool revision games Step 3: when in a mood to learn start revising Keep reading and concentrating on the paper or something you want to memorize over and over again when you feel you have remembered it try and draw it out on a peice of paper Hope this helps!!!
